What kind of "trash" TV would they watch if any? (Think basically any TLC show, some food network contest, bar rescue, kitchen rescue, anything like that)
MICHELLE, written by Mallow, secret twine- loves stuff like kitchen nightmares, and watches them with taffy wrap after their relationship is established
LOVER- genuinely would hate watch something like jerry springer until primus tells them it's too mean, at which point they switch to prank shows
BUTANE'S SISTER, written by Richard, Felid Factor- watches a lot of different kinds of TV due to being stuck in the house a lot of the time, and doesn't have real preferences outside of cooking shows. she's tried to get butane into them, but he never clicks with any of them outside of the really ludicrous challenges, cutthroat kitchen style.
CARVER- talk shows, especially ones with riveting scientific discussions- or at least, by her standard of riveting. if it has fun facts she can spout at desmond, she's happy- and some of them he even finds amusing!
BUTANE- drama-heavy shows, regardless of the topic. doesn't particularly enjoy it, just needs something on in the background to dissociate zone out to and watching people scream at each other is easier to deal with than whatever's going on in his head at the time.
If they had a day free, absolutely no plans or obligations, what would they do?
CARVER- go to the shore and look for something nice to bring home, even if it's just a chunk of seaglass or something. i like to think she collects things like that, not that she'd ever admit it to anyone.
BUTANE- sit by the docks with [future character yet to be introduced]. they would talk for hours and he would see her as the most beautiful thing on this planet, though he would never admit it out loud.
DESMOND- ask if maverick wanted to video/voice chat and tell himself it's not a weird crush thing, it's just business friends hanging out. whether he's correct on this is a mystery to both himself and maverick.
PRIMUS, written by the system as a whole, Post-Void Session- wander around the woods with bryce, maybe explore an area the two of them have been investigating for some time. nothing serious, just playing around.
MAES- spend time with charon, 100%. they would want to spend the whole day with him, whether that's something mundane and relaxing or...you know the type of shit they get up to.
this question got gay quickly
How do they greet friends?
TAFFY WRAP- taffy doesn't have a lot of friends, so this is pretty tricky. depending on whether he's in a manic or depressive swing, i imagine it's either a very excitable "hello!" or a sleepy grumble.
CARVER- a shy "hi!", she doesn't exactly like to make a big impact
BUTANE'S SISTER- very chipper about it pre-illness, much more tired now
LOVER- as flamboyantly and excitably as possible
DESMOND- has a flair for the dramatic, though due to being easily irritated, he may come off snappy instead if he's in the middle of something
Would you trust them to drive you to the store?
BUTANE'S SISTER- she drove butane around a lot before he got his license, and taught him how to drive in general. very trustworthy on a good health day.
SYNNA- cannot drive, but absolutely not even if she could
DESMOND- very good driver, owns a van and does deliveries for people on occasion, so yes.
MICHELLE- yeah, she's a solid driver. her car is way too small for taffy to get into but he would trust her to drive him around if she could.
BUTANE- very very good driver, but a little reckless if he's on edge. that said, he has the chops to pull it off. would be a good driver to the store.
Do you think they'd be good at retail work or serving in a restaurant?
TAFFY WRAP- eehhhhhhh. i feel like he'd crack under pressure.
DESMOND- yes, absolutely, he did this kind of work in the past before becoming a jewelry model, though how that works on fallow's island is a little different. in either case, it was more of a local restaurant situation than a fast food place, and his powerful strength gave him a significant boost in being able to carry things around.
LOVER- surprisingly yes? i feel like they'd be really good at sweet-talking customers in something like a department store or other business where things need to be pitched.
BUTANE'S SISTER- yes, did retail work pre-illness. i want to say she worked a perfume counter.
MAES- nope. would not be good at it and would quit after a day.
Would you trust them with a blow torch not to light things on fire?
CARVER- yes! carver is a very careful person and definitely works with similarly dangerous tools in her spare time.
MAES- if it was mounted to their weird surgical arms? Absolutely. they have done extremely delicate work along these lines in the past.
TAFFY WRAP- he is extremely flammable and would not even touch a blow torch
BUTANE- he's a lighter type. he knows how fire works and feels very in control of it. A+ blow torch skills.
DESMOND- absolutely, has likely cooked with one before. maybe at aforementioned local restaurant job?
